Miko Bergbom wrote that the Green youth hoped for "free money" for immigrants and reminded that, according to him, this was taxpayer money. He stated that Finland could not afford the current situation and demanded a swift transition to a citizenship-based social security system. According to Bergbom, the welfare state was at risk if this was not done, as the money, in his view, was running out. Bergbom claimed that the share of immigrants in certain social benefits clearly exceeded their share of the population. He said that in the capital region, their share of the total amount of social assistance was already about 50 percent. He stated that this situation should raise concerns, but he opposed new unconditional benefits for immigrants proposed by the left. #maahanmuutto #sosiaaliturva #verotus (translated)

Maria Rautanen wrote that the Left Alliance proposed tightening the taxation of domestic wood fuels and energy peat. According to her, the proposal could increase heating costs, weaken the competitiveness of domestic energy production, and increase pressures on security of supply. Rautanen assessed that the costs could impact low-income individuals, whose position the Left, in her opinion, claimed to defend, and criticized the proposal for not taking into account its possible effects on the daily lives of ordinary Finns. #kotimainenenergia #verotus #lämmitys (translated)

Sture Fjäder wrote that, according to him, the support for his party was catastrophically low. He stated that he opposed red-blue cooperation and claimed that the Social Democrats wanted to tighten taxes. According to Fjäder, a tweet he found hinted that a decision had already been made about the party's shift to red-blue cooperation. He asked if the intention was for the party's support to drop to 12 percent, and responded that apparently that was the case. #vaalit2027 https://t.co/YVSaBNwGBR #politiikka #vaalit #kannatus (translated)

Jesse Rauhamo wrote that a certain woman had demanded more reception centers in Finland, citing the global responsibility of Finns. According to Rauhamo, about 4.5 billion euros of taxpayers' money had been used for the operations of the Finnish Immigration Service and reception centers since 2015, which is 1,730 euros for every working Finn. He asked how much more Finns should pay to ensure that enough responsibility had been taken. #Suomi #maahanmuutto #verotus (translated)

Veli Karimies wrote that, in his opinion, the fuel tax could have been reduced by lowering the distribution obligation or cutting development aid. He assessed that reducing the price of fuel would have been easy to implement and claimed that the Coalition Party did not agree to either method. #politiikka #verotus #Kokoomus (translated)

Juho Hirvelä wrote that there had been discussions in Finland about lowering the fuel distribution obligation and that the Finns Party was said to support it, while according to him it did not seem suitable for the National Coalition Party and the Swedish People's Party. He asked whether fuel taxes in Finland were too high and whether it would be reasonable for the government to return half of the extra tax revenue from high fuel prices to motorists as a tax reduction. According to Hirvelä, the state was collecting unprecedented amounts of money in taxes. #polttoaine #verotus #Suomi (translated)

Joakim Vigelius wrote to Pia Kauma that, in his opinion, lowering the distribution obligation could reduce prices by about 15–20 cents without decreasing state tax revenues. He estimated that a similar effect from a tax cut would cost the state one billion euros and considered a package of 60 million euros to be minor in comparison. #verotus #talous #alennus (translated)

Sture Fjäder wrote to Pia Kauma that her claim was not true. According to him, the Finns Party and Minister of Finance Riikka Purra were ready to lower income tax, but in his view, this would not be done in the blue-red government. Fjäder asked why the criticism was now directed at the Finns Party instead of the Social Democrats and the red-green parties. He said the situation created the impression of preparing the ground for the blue-red government and considered it sad. #politiikka #verotus #Suomi (translated)

Maria Rautanen wrote that electricity transmission price increases were once again in the headlines. She wondered why, according to her, a value-added tax of 25.5 percent was added on top of the electricity tax. Rautanen described electricity as a necessity without which Finnish society, in her opinion, cannot function, and criticized the state for taxing the tax levied on electricity as well. #sähkö #verotus #italia (translated)

Miko Bergbom wrote that the changes in the polls had, in his opinion, stirred feelings among some members of the National Coalition Party, who expressed their dissatisfaction towards the Finns Party. He doubted that this would be helpful and suggested focusing on the formation of a right-wing government. Bergbom supported the continuation of spending cuts and preventing tax increases aimed at work and entrepreneurship amounting to billions of euros. His proposals included tightening immigration restrictions and continuing spending cuts, taxing foundations and trade unions, as well as reforming taxation related to work and entrepreneurship. He criticized the vice-chair of the National Coalition Party group, Pia Kauma, for focusing on being outraged by comments on social media. Bergbom suggested that this might serve as a smokescreen for building a Social Democrat-National Coalition government. Finally, he asked Martin Paasi whether he supported the continuation of the right-wing basis. #politiikka #maahanmuutto #verotus (translated)

Antero Paljakka OLY wrote that the pension contribution indicated on the pay slip was 7.3 percent, whereas in reality, according to him, 25.5 percent of the salary went to it. He described the practice as a tax technical deception stemming from the legacy of the 1993 recession and claimed that naming over two-thirds of the contribution as the employer's share led Finns to perceive pension security as inexpensive. According to Paljakka, pension contributions reduced the employee's purchasing power and gross salary, and the employer viewed the total cost as the price of the employee. He asked how long people would accept that a quarter of the value of work went into the system without them having a say in how the funds were used. #eläkkeet #palkka #verotus (translated)

Mats Uotila wrote that the research confirmed, according to him, that Finns did not want the tax increases advocated by the left-wing opposition. He stated that 54 percent of Finns supported the option where at least two-thirds of the adjustments in public finances would be made through spending cuts. https://t.co/qAhlsQ56FU #Suomi #politiikka #verotus (translated)

Tuomo Saarni asked why the public sector was allowed to spend money recklessly without consequences. He urged reading about what the welfare area was ready to pay 170,000 euros for without bidding. At the same time, he criticized a person who had stated they wanted to pay higher taxes, deeming this unreasonable. (translated)

Tere Sammallahti wrote that according to the interpretation of the Tax Administration, taxes of up to 170,000 euros should have been paid on an income of 41,000 euros, but the Supreme Administrative Court annulled the interpretation. He contemplated what kind of social media story the Tax Administration would create about the legal dispute and thanked for the work victory as well as for the precedent he considers important. https://t.co/x1NDdIyEbr #verotus #oikeus #ennakkopäätös (translated)

Tere Sammallahti wondered why tax revenue had increased despite tax cuts. He reminded that the leftists had previously claimed that tax cuts weakened the state's financial base and asked whether the reason for the economic distress was actually too high taxation. #verotus #talous #politiikka (translated)

Kari previously mentioned that he used to laugh at people who wanted to break away from society's hustle, but now he said he appreciates those who can do it. He justified his view by claiming that hardworking men were taxed into poverty, the price of diesel was 2.5 euros per liter, the retirement age was 97 years, and the social democrats were winning the elections. https://t.co/RZxCXpzt2e #yhteiskunta #politiikka #verotus (translated)
